 It takes a very special person to love the Carin Terrier Breed. As a mother of two beautiful Carins I am always willing to help dogs be placed in good homes and give advise to other parents in need.

Your dog licking its paws is probably some kind of allergy.

Don't let them play around your motorcycles, you ever tried getting the oil off a white dog. I think he does it on purpose just to play in the shower :-)

Clipping. Buy yourself some clippers and give it a go yourself. Persevere, there ain't nothing to it as long as you are the boss over your dog. You'll make a few mistakes at first but it grows back quickly.

Be firm, be the boss. You have to be cruel to be kind at times. A westie wants to be in charge and will rule your life if you let them. He/she has got to know you are in charge. You will have a far better companion in the end. My whiskey has a basket that he goes and sits in when he is playing up. He knows the stern command. "Get in your basket" and he will sit there looking meek with his ears down. Let him back out with your permission. A dog is a happier chap when he knows his pack position.

Cover cookie sheet with foil and coat with Canols oil.
Slice sweet potato in thin uniform slices.
Spread on cookie sheet, and turn over to coat with oil.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, turn and bake for 10 more or until golden brown.
Good for everyone!! and so yummy.
Enjoy!

My babies get the tummy growlies too. I always think that it is gas or air in their bellies and give them a little bit of bread or a pepcid AC (that my vet recommended) and it goes usually goes away.Hope this helps!

Owners are worrying about brown noses, spots on noses, etc. Please note that the black nose is due to sunlight. I lived in Alaska for a few years and my Westies nose would turn brown in the winter (he was show quality, by the way, over 50% of ancestors were show champions). When your Westie gets sun on hiw nose, it will turn black again (unless there is somehting wrong).

We've discovered the best way to manage our elderly dog Heidi's bladder control problem. We bought one of the blue denim doggie diapers at Petsmart, and we line it with an adult heavy absorbency Poise pad. The pad fits perfect, and it absorbs a LOT of liquid while the surface (and the denim) stays really dry, so it won't harm her skin. The CVS brand are only $4 for 28. Our carpet is thanking us!

One more bit of advise. My carin became sick last fall due to drinking water from the saucer that the flower pots sit on outside. Miracle Grow fertlizer drained out from the overwatering or rain and she became very, very sick. No more saucers with my plants.

I never attach any tag that hangs down on my little carin's collar as one time she got it stuck in the floor register while I was gone and must have pulled for hours to get out. When I returned home the floor register was half way across the kitchen floor. Now I use only fabric like collars with her name and my entire telephone number on it either stiched or stamped on it. All tags are kept in a drawer at home from then on.

Could someone please tell me more about grooming cairn terriers? I have been told the right way is to use a grooming stone that removes the long hair?? My husband and I have rescued to beautiful girls and they will soon need a hair cuts. I wondered if you cairn owner can help me? Is this something I could learn to use? I am a retired hairstylist . Thanks for your help love my cairns!!
